DashWire

actually for me it has been quite usefull. when sprint released 6.1; and I realized that sprite backup doesn't work quite right on 6.1 (yet), dashwire got my phone back up and running the way I like it. sure, it doesn't restore texts yet (they are working on it). But then I have all my photos saved on the storage card, along with all of my cab files.

OK. Devil's advocate.
I spent a bunch of time trying to figure out how to get a photo off the server. Now I know it won't restore to the phone but that's not issue, I couldn't figure out how to get them on my home computer.

So that makes me wonder about the actual usefulness as a backup tool.

Right now there is no "official" way to do this. It's in our near-future plans that we want to roll out really soon. There are some work-arounds to this though. You can always email the picture(s) to yourself, or expand the picture as big as possible and save the image to the desktop. I understand this isn't probably the ideal functionality your looking for but it's coming soon.

Is there a way to edit or organize "favorites" on the dashboard? On my phone, I have folders for my favorites and it is nice and organized. Due to battery limitations, I sync manually with Dashwire (mainly when I take new photos...not big on texting, & when I do, I certainly don't need to save any of them...).When I do sync, Dashwire puts all the favorites back on my phone, but they are now in addition to the folders. The folders contain the shortcuts...Any thoughts?

Unfortunately as of now, no. Support for folders and organization are on our roadmap for the future. As of now, they aren't quite high enough on the food chain due to the popularity of other areas (photos, contacts, etc). Nonetheless, I will bark at someone to see if this is a possibility for a near future push and pull for ya!

Maybe I missed it in the FAQ or something, but it seems that not only does Dashwire backuo and restore IE's bookmarks, but also cookies.
I just went to Facebook for the first time on my replacement Q and i did not have to log in .... I was taken directly to my home page.

We don't do anything with cookies so we can't take credit for the no login you had with facebook. Not sure if you thought it was good or bad but either way not us!

My text messages don't seem to be updating automatically today. Contact changes and phone calls are updating to the dashboard, but text messages only show up if I force an update.

This is some x-files stuff. We just tested it out here at the office and things worked fine. Try a soft reset on your phone and make sure the mobile client is running and turned to auto sync. Sounds like you've been using dw for a while and haven't had this issue before. If none of this works, reach out to support and we'll take care of it from there. Let me know!

Yeah, it's strange. Phone was reset last night when Sprite backup ran. I had the Dashwire mobile client running all morning. I did a reset when I saw your reply, and then sent a text. When I got a response to the text, the response showed up on the dashboard, but my original text did not until I did a "sync now".

And now, with no further changes on my side, things are working normal again. :2cool:

Just kidding...messages sent from the phone will not show up on the dashboard until a sync now. Its a kink we are currently trying to smooth out. Once you sync now, all sent messages will appear and will be in correct order after a refresh.

I searched the few posts containing Dashwire, but I guess I am missing it. Everything is working flawlessly, but my question is, if I lose my phone, someone steals it, drop it in water, I lose everything. I put Dashwire on the new phone, how do I restore everything on Dashwire servers, back to my phone? I've looked in the web settings, maybe I am just tired this morning??

Any info would be awesome, and thank you in advance!

Dashwire needs to be on your phone and PC. Once you put the mobile Dashwire onto your new phone, hit "synch now" and your contacts/pics/text will be put back onto the phone.

LOL, I'm lost, I know how to use the web dashboard, there is also a pc version I need? I am looking at the web dashboard, and I can't find the damn thing!!

Web dashboard is on your pc (personal computer)! If you already have it there, you are good to go. Once you install m.dashwire.com on the new phone and hit "sync now", everything I stated earlier will be put onto the phone...Hope this clears it up!
